Batting order

perception. I know that sounds like a mouthful so let me sum it up: I was more or less blind as a bat. This disorder causes both of my eyes to cross in order to focus on objects; I was also born without developing my ability to see up close, also known as farsightedness; therefore I was prescribed bifocals with magnification at sixteen months old. In order to play most…

Every night, before you go to sleep, you hear the chirping of hundreds of crickets. From mole crickets to a cricket literally called the cooloola monster, every male cricket can chirp. Now, what if I told you that crickets don’t chirp at random, but the speed of the chirps depends on the temperature outside. If I have a male house cricket and put it in a temperature controlled room and turn up the heat. Since crickets like all other insects, cold-blooded, they take on the temperature of their…

In my sophomore year my baseball team qualified to the state championship game. In high school sports that is the highest stage you can reach. It was the dream of a lifetime to play the championship game at Volcano Stadium. I was so nervous, but I was able to keep my cool during warm ups. The game did not start the way we wanted it, we played terrible the first four innings, making many errors and mental mistakes that cost runs. The game was starting to favor the other team by a staggering…

take a ground ball and then run and get another ball and throw it to first base and then we did double plays. After infield I pitched 25 pretty good pitches to Kaden. After that my half of the team went to go bat. There were four Batting stations including the batting cage. My partner was Joe. One of the stations we…

As my spiked cleat slides across the torn and tattered mound, familiar vibrations run up my leg. My foot finds its place, and once again I explode off the mound, whipping my arm around my body as fast as possible. The ball flies out of my palm and toward the catcher, a sharp popping sound ringing through the air as the ball finds its way into her glove. The ball is quickly thrown back to me as the first strike is called and I pace around the white lines of the pitching circle, my cleats…

My favorite hobby is playing softball during school ball and ASA ball. You can learn to play softball by joining a team and practicing on your free time. Softball can be a difficult sport if you don’t listen; you’re not going to know what to do if you don’t pay attention. When you play, you want to be able to play multiple postitions so that you don’t have to sit the bench. I was taught to play all positions but my main posistioins are shortstop and centerfield; if you are fast you will play one…

I would go back to the day where i could have won the championship for my team. It was a super hot day, about 95 degrees out and no wind, we had a big game that day and every one was nervous. It was the championship game versus one of the best teams in the country, the Florida Gators. The smallest kid on there team was bigger than me, these guys were giants. We keep up with them being behind only one run through out the whole game, it was the last inning with two players on base and I'm up to…

softball as a sport that is similar to baseball but that is played on a smaller field and with a ball that is pitched underhand and that is larger and softer than a baseball When playing softball, you have to have a glove for catching, a bat for batting, cleats for playing in the field and a uniform to match your team. Some other necessary gear you would need is softball pants, team shirt, high top socks, and a bat bag to hold all of your gear. Although different positions call for different…

It was a scorching summer afternoon around three o’ clock PM at J.D Redd Park. I was anxiously waiting in third base for the batter to approach the plate and smack the yarn covered ball just enough for me to make it to the home plate. As the sun hits my face I see the pitcher retract his right arm getting ready to throw it. As I see the ball leave the pitcher’s hand, I breathed in the humid air, making preparations to sprint as fast as I could and make it to the home plate. Before I could even…
